Handle the WM_CTLCOLOREDIT message in the parent dialog and return the necessary colored brush. Since you want to do this on a button click, in the button click event handler, set a flag and then call UpdateWindow for the edit control. In the WM_CTLCOLOREDIT message handler you can check this flag before returning the colored brush.
